This was a tough category but favor was given to any image that could create an image of rings in a way that had the "flavor" of a moment. This image pulled it together with the hands of the bride holding a heart shaped dish that mirrors the similar shape of her dress and the form of her hands. The image is simple like the rings she holds.

I love the color and reflections created in the ice. The blob of ice on the right side takes the eye away from the rings. The image would have placed higher if the ice on the left wasn't so dominant.

Color and rushing water give these rings a lot of energy. Love the slow shutter speed of motion as the water is juxtaposed with the simplistic rings.

There are many reasons to like this image beyond the colors, composition and lighting but the water "bubble" formed by water also mimics the shape of the small round diamond, not to mention the obvious shape of rings. But, perhaps the most effective element here is how the stream forms numerous leading lines into the subject.
